The determination of mechanical and fracture properties of anisotropic tubular materials
along hoop direction needs the use of the ring hoop tensile test, for which, the obtained …

Metal sheet anisotropy is the directional dependence of mechanical properties. It is the key
factor that must be considered when using numerical simulation to predict any …

In order to assess the strength and plastic properties across different weld zones, a shear
testing procedure specially conceived for sampling and testing narrow weld portions, is …

The structure and phase composition of the bond interface of aluminium–copper lap welds
produced by friction stir welding and tool-assisted friction welding were analysed …

Innovative tensile specimen was designed to probe the mechanical properties of the tube
with a diameter/thickness ratio equal to 25 made of widely used aluminum alloy AA6063-T6 …

An original simple shear test is developed to assess the mechanical behavior of anisotropic
tubular material. Firstly, a shear specimen with a ring shape and a loading test device is …
